Functional Connectivity Measures After Psilocybin Inform a Novel Hypothesis of Early Psychosis Psilocybin is a classic psychedelic and a candidate drug model of psychosis. This study measured the effects of psilocybin on resting-state network and thalamocortical functional connectivity (FC) using functional

The effects of psilocybin and MDMA on between-network resting state functional connectivity in healthy volunteers Perturbing a system and observing the consequences is a classic scientific strategy for understanding a phenomenon. Psychedelic drugs perturb consciousness in a marked and novel

Psychiatry’s next top model: cause for a re-think on drug models of psychosis and other psychiatric disorders RL Carhart-Harris, S Brugger, DJ Nutt and JM Stone Despite the widespread application of drug modelling in psychiatric research, the relative value of

The administration of psilocybin to healthy,hallucinogen-experienced volunteers in a mock-functional magnetic resonance imaging environment: a preliminary investigation of tolerability This study sought to assess the tolerability of intravenously administered psilocybin in healthy, hallucinogen-experienced volunteers in a mock-magnetic resonance imaging environment

Neural correlates of the psychedelic state as determined by fMRI studies with psilocybin Psychedelic drugs have a long history of use in healing ceremonies, but despite renewed interest in their therapeutic potential, we continue to know very little about how

Homological scaffolds of brain functional networks Networks, as efficient representations of complex systems, have appealed to scientists for a long time and now permeate many areas of science, including neuroimaging (Bullmore and Sporns 2009 Nat. Rev. Neurosci. 10, 186–198. (doi:10.1038/nrn2618)).
